Photog needed for 6-7-10 Baby Shower

[HeatherLou]

I was contacted today by a lady named Sherry who is looking for a photog for a baby shower on Sunday from 12-3. The party is in Carrolton. I have no idea about budget, but she is thinking hourly coverage and a CD of images. I am booked Sunday, and honestly couldn't get away at this short a notice anyway. If you are interested, send her an email directly at shreya.aqua@gmail.com! The family is Indian, so the cultural aspect could be really cool! In your email, tell her that I sent you.

This lady called me earlier today, she asked me if I would offer a package that includes:
2-3 hours of photography coverage
negative DVD
online gallery for viewing / purchasing

with NO cost but getting paid when people order prints from me.
errrmmm....

If I were a guest why would I buy a picture from the baby shower ?
Family maybe. This is a lose lose situation.

Tom, I agree, from a wedding, maybe, but baby shower, as a guest, I wont buy any print, seriously.
This lady actually told me that other photographers in town offer that, why didn't she book that photographer then?

Even if I am a family member, and that I know the host will have the negative DVD, I would expect (or ask) her to just send me a few group pictures instead??

When I spoke with her, she said the same. However, I explained that if I were to shoot it, it would be an hourly rate and a CD of images that were converted and WB. I just put it out here in case someone wanted the opportunity. I made no promises to the lady, or how she would be charged.
